Hi, How I understand it is that the code is your own personal authorisation code which is either available by typing in or on a file on a CD. Together with this auth code and the serial number and the machine ID (which is generated when JFW runs to get your machine fingerprint), this makes up your authorisation. The reason you need the code is because say I knew your serial number was 1234567, I could just type that into the box no problem, and potentially use an activation. The other thing is this code provides a secure way of allowing registration through less secure ways (i.e, through the telephone or through a website). Although I am not that fond of the new system (because I now need to spend money on a dongle), it is well implemented and they have covered all the bases.

Bit confuse though because there was an option to type in a code to authorise the new version, does this not defeat the whole object of this new authorisation. I used the Internet option. Does this mean that you can load this on several computers using this type in code then.
